ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
As Chairman of COST Action 285 and co-editor of this book I wish to express my sincere thanks to all the members of the Management Committee for their full and active participation in the studies embraced by the Action including the decision to sponsor this symposium in which they presented the results of their individual research in different aspects of modeling and simulation of communication networks. I would particularly like to mention here Prof Dr Axel Lehmann and Prof Dr Ercan Topuz who, as Deputy Chair and Technical Secretary respectively of the Action 285, made unique contributions to the organisation and success of the Symposium. The symposium was very much enriched and gained much breadth and depth by the participation of many experts in the field from outside the Action Group, from the United States of America, and Europe who willingly accepted our invitation to attend and contribute to our deliberations. It would be invidious to single out names but I would like to mention Dr Arnold Bragg who played a very important role inside the Committee as well as in the preparation and conduct of the symposium. I owe them all many thanks and much gratitude. Last but by no means least I would like to express my appreciation to the COST Office Scientific Secretariat for the administrative and financial support given to the Action and to Prof Dr Ulf Schmerl for making the facilities and staff of his Faculty of Informatics at the University of the German Federal Armed Forces in Munich, available for the symposium. Finally It gives me pleasure to acknowledge the support I received from Mr Zerhan Ener and Mr Semih Ener as well as from the staff of Sp
